Live Chess is much better now

Thanks you chess/code folks for debugging the site and continuing to improve it. Almost not disconnects, many more players online at any time, and when there is a disconnect, the clock seems to be suspended.

For the first time in a month or two, I lost strictly on a disconnect. My clock went to zero. We still need to fix that problem. When there's a disconnect, the clock should be stopped until the reconnect, or the game should be cancelled.

It looks like usage has more than doubled since the last big fix. I can see why they have new problems to deal with. Still flawed, but better than last year. I am confident it will keep on getting better.

Last week, suddenly a lot of mid-game disconnects and have lost a lot of points.

Seems like chess.com can stop the clock on a disconnect. There ought to be a way to determine whether a player has signed off, lost his/her connection to the net or has been disconnected by the chess.com server.
